Whether you turn the crank or the key to get here, you don’t want to miss out on the 29th Annual Antique & Classic Car Show and the 15th annual Motorcycle Show, both rescheduled for Sunday, October 2nd.

Over 50 awards for the antique and classic vehicles will be presented at the awards ceremony.

The Car Show sponsor Donley Ford Lincoln of Mount Vernon will present the Best of Show Award. The event will be held on the Square and down South Main Street.

The 15th Annual Motorcycle Show, sponsored by Mid-Ohio Suzuki-Honda-Yamaha-Kawasaki is starting at Noon. Motorcycles of all makes and models are invited to the Show on the Square. There are five (5) classes of competition – Custom, Touring, Vintage (25 years and older), Trike, and Cruiser, will have the opportunity to participate in a judged show, with a special award for Best in Show.

If engines and paint jobs weren’t enough, live entertainment will be featured on the Square, with plenty of delicious food to keep you going . Food vendors serving at the Shows include the Exchange Club incredible 2” BBQ pork chops; Whit’s Frozen Custard, Cowgirls Cattle Company’s delicious chopped and shredded beef; and Jeph’s Barnyard Bundles featuring their mouth-watering BBQ ribs.
